The block fields in Fig. 1, which are shown in detail in the other figures, are intended to be a storage relay group SR, a group of type actuation magnets TAM, the storage relay contacts SRC, the four-counter QC, the multiple switching mechanism MS, the position switching mechanism PS, the sequential switching mechanism TSS and the selector indexing mechanism 6 \ S ".

The circuit arrangement is intended for measuring the capacitance values which are present between the four cores of a telephone cable trunk quad and between these cores and the cores of an adjacent quad. The wires of the quad to be tested are applied by hand in the correct order to a number of sockets, and the quad to be tested is brought into connection with the test circuit arrangement by means of a selector switch mechanism 5 * 5 ". Four cable quads SZ, SA, SB and SC are indicated as they are plugged into a junction box 1, from which corresponding connections lead to the selector switch mechanism SS . The switch mechanism 6 \ 5 "has a series of eight connections, which lead to a subsequent switching mechanism TSS , which has a number of rows of contacts only one of which, TSSI1, is shown in FIG. The TSS downstream switchgear has twelve switch positions and establishes the connections for a set of eleven tests. Each of the eleven tests is carried out by an automatically adjusting bridge 2. The switching mechanism contact rows, which establish the necessary connections between the connections of the selector switch mechanism SS and the bridge 2 and an oscillator 3, are contained in the switching mechanism block TSS1 . Another switchgear block TSS2 contains the required rows of contacts that produce the interconnections between these wires and an automatic insulation test unit 4. The bridge 2 and the circuit arrangement assigned to it, as well as the insulation test unit 4, are not the subject of the invention.

The selector switch mechanism SS and the sequential switch mechanism TSS are actuated automatically by the control circuits described below. The tests are registered by means of a specially modified typewriter, the carriage of which actuates two contact arms PSW1 and PSW2, which slide over two contact banks PSB 1 and PSB 2 in the position switching mechanism PS , which is located on the typewriter (Fig. 1). The arrangement corresponds to that as it is the subject of the main patent 1 025 161. The types for registering the digits 0 to 9 and the characters "+" and "-" are actuated by means of the type actuation magnets TAM , in addition to manual actuation using the buttons. The registration of the test values of each cable quad consists of twelve columns or columns of prints. The first column contains the identification number of the quadruple, while in each of the other columns a test partial value is registered, which consists of a sign with a number, which in turn can consist of one, two or three digits. The contacts in both banks PSB1 and PSB2 of the position switching mechanism are therefore divided into twelve sets. In the PSBl bank, each record contains five contacts, numbered 1 to 5. In Ba.nkPSB2 , each set consists of a short contact with the same contact position as contact 1 in bank PSB1 and a long contact which covers all partial positions 2 to 5 of that bank.

Some of the contacts in group COLI of the bank PSBl are assigned to the four-digit counter QC , which has a number of rotary selectors which are provided with switching means for moving back into the initial operating state and are required to connect the first wire of a set of cable quads, e.g. B. of those, which form a layer in a cable, to be numbered.

The variable differential capacitance 27 in the bridge 2 is assigned a multiple switching mechanism MS. The adjustable control part 5 of the capacity 27 is moved by a reversible motor drive; it is connected to the multiple switching mechanism MS via a reduction gear. Contact banks in the multiple position switchgear are provided for three columns of numbers and for the two signs "+" and "-". The switching mechanism MS can come to rest in any switching position that reflects a value, and it is held in each of these switching positions by means of a lock 36, which can engage one of ten locking cams 35, which are provided in a disc located on the switching mechanism ( Fig. 5). The blocking is automatically effected after the end of the test process, ie when the equilibrium of the bridge 2 has been reached. The multiple switchgear MS provides the circuits of the storage relay group Si? which is composed of the storage relays A to Z. These memory relays are self-locking or self-retaining, specifically by means of contacts A1 to Wl, 75 and Z5. The type actuation magnet group TAM consists of the series MO to M9, M- and M + as well as a space key magnet MA, which actuates the space key of the typewriter, a tab magnet MC and a writing carriage return magnet MB. Correspondingly designed switching mechanisms are under the control of the memory relay and the quadruple counter QC for selecting the appropriate magnets for registering the cable quad identity numbers and the bridge recording. These components are described in greater detail below along with the interconnect control circuits.

The selector switch mechanism SS consists of five rows of contacts 6 to 10. The rows 6 to 9 each consist of four fixed contacts and three contact arms. The fixed contacts are connected to the four-wire cables via the junction box 1. The contact arms in the five rows are driven by a rotary indexing drive 12 via a common drive shaft 11. The drive 12 consists of a rotating drive component 13 and a pin 14 which covers one revolution when a magnet MiIf is excited and acts on a cam disk 15 and then rotates it by 90 °. The cam disk 15 is firmly seated on the shaft 11. Eight cores in two groups 16 and 17 extend from the step-by-step switch mechanism SS. The effect of the selector switch is to connect the wires of one quad to group 16, another quad to group 17, and another quad to earth, while the fourth quad is not connected. The fourth cable quad has just been checked and replaced by a new cable quad. The subsequent switching mechanism TSS is driven via a drive component 18 which drives a pin 19 and covers a complete revolution when a magnet ML is actuated. The pin 19 cooperates with one of twelve cams in a driven disk 20, which is seated on the common shaft 21, which has all the contact arms of the subsequent switchgear TSS

"When the Kon-Brücke 2 rotates clockwise. The elements of the bridge consist of clock arm 30, it moves over the positive group of two fixed capacitors 22 and 23, two inductors, while counterclockwise it passes over 24 and 25, a pick-up coil26 and the "negative group." These are the "Hunänderlichen differential capacitor 27, which has two io dertere contacts. The contacts, which correspond to the same fixed plates and a rotating plate 5. Corresponding to five numerical values, are connected to one another, conductors of this bridge network into and each set is in each case into with one of the associated switching unit block TssL, and the interconnection group of memory relay K to T in compound is such that the bridge either increase or capacitive the multiple shift workbench MSi consists in inductive Respect, depending on the type X5 together from a middle or zero contact, which of the relevant test, appraised is ltet. A range from -9 to +9 of the oscillator 3 contacts is also extended over the derailleur block in the bank. At the ends of this central TSS1 at corresponding points in the circuit contact, two further contacts are arranged, connected arrangement. By means of the row of contacts which each extend over the range -10 to -19 within the second switchgear block TSS 2, ao and +10 to +19 of the contacts in bank M ₁ S ¹ S extend through the wires for strength of the insulation. These contacts are in turn followed by two insulation testers 4, which are checked via a circuit with further contacts which correspond to the contacts -20 to -24 ter ^ 4Z5 to a corresponding potential supply source and +20 to +24 in the bank MS 3. 27 is to be switched on.

If all cores of the storage relay U are switched on, the next following this test withstood this test in a satisfactory manner, contacts corresponding to the numerical value 1 are also included, then the relay BF responds, and this is connected to the other and connected to the storage relay V , directs the necessary control measures to while the other contacts according to the balance of the bridge. 30 numerical value 2 with each other and with the memory

Once the bridge has been put into operation, relays W are connected. The final multiple switch is automatically adjusted. The acceptance workbench MS 5 is assigned to the sign of the recording coil 26 feeds via a corresponding amplifier, and it consists of two essentially ■ a balancing indicator 28. The output size of semicircular contacts, which after each of this indicator 28 is a coil 29 one polar 35 side supplied from the center position of the contact arm 30 from based relay AB , which extend the drive of the, namely the positive right, the negative adjustment element 5 of the differential capacitor on the left. The negative contact is with the memory - 27 switches off when the state of equilibrium er relay Y, the positive contact with the memory is reached. At the end of this control process, the relays Z are connected. It can be seen that the corresponding memory relay in the group SR is activated and locked when the circuit arrangement is in operation. The setting of the multiple one or the other of the storage relays F and Z switching mechanism MS is energized in the state of the bridge adjustment, depending on the sign of which can be seen which of the storage relays was operated recording; thereby becomes the belonging to the are. The multiple switching mechanism MS has five contacts Y 6 and Z 6 closed, whereby either contact banks MS1 to MS5 . Each of these banks 45, the positive or the negative of the banks of ten MS1 consists of a rotary contact arm 30, which one and MS 2 is selected. The arrangement is a circular arrangement of fixed contacts over such that the contact arms of MS3 and MS ^ brush each other (Fig. 5). The Kontaktarme30 of the banks MSl from one contact to another, move during and MS2 via a common shaft 31, the contact arms in the banks MSl and MS arrival driven 2, which with the shaft 32 in connection 50 from contact 9 to contact 0 in the one or stands over which the differential capacitor 27 move in the other direction. This makes it necessary that the center or zero contact in the gear 33, so that the shaft 31 is twice as wide a full turn as the rest of the bench MS 3 is covered, while the capacity of the Condensate contacts in this bank. In the MJ bank? 5 is the sators 27 changes by one unit. For example, the contact arm can be set up so that it moves from the positive to this unit change 100pF, with the contact moving after the negative contact if full ranges between + 250OpF and -2SOOpF the contact arms in MSX and MS2 can move from 0 to .

A switchgear bank MS1 and MS2 have ten fixed locks 36, which are hinged at one end and have contacts, numbered from 0 to 9 and in one approach at the other end, are arranged clockwise in the bank MS2 or otherwise with this approach engaged in a counterclockwise direction in the bank MSl 65 of the grooves by means of a spring 37.

When hand operated and a scale is provided for it is in the left position, then the visual reading represents the setting. When he creates a circuit through relay AM , since the bridge has been brought into equilibrium, contact ^ / 5 is closed, and through bank POT? 2 then the circuit of the magnet MK, 5 of the position switching mechanism opens, provided that the multiple switching mechanism MS is locked in this position contact arm PSW2 on a grounded contact, the corresponding memory being located. When the relay AM responds, it closes relay circuits for registering the setting of its hold circuit via contact AM 5 and the differential capacitor condenser clock AMl. This latter contact AM1 is established. The storage relay circuits are connected to earth by the io from the left contact 53 of the multiple pulse switching mechanism MS via the switch MK 3 switching mechanism IS to the contact arm PSW 1 when the unlocking relay MK other bank of the position switching mechanism is closed and not energized Via the contacts or switching If the pulse switching mechanism IS is in the right position terX2 and AR 1, which is normally closed, whereby the contacts 52 and 53 are together. The storage relays close their own holding 15, then it sends a current pulse contacts Al to Zl, YS and Z5, and these provide a completed circuit, which is connected to a new circuit via a relay X and a contact of the BankFvS ⁱ 52 of the position switch A 01. Relay X is a pick-up delay mechanism on which the contact arm relay is used to ensure that a complete PSW2 is idle.

The memory relay is actuated before the 20 The contact 1 in the first set COLl of the bank switch X 2 opens. If this occurs, then PSBl and the contact 5 of all sets, with the switch position of the storage relays regardless of the last of these banks, are constantly connected to the movement of the multiple switching mechanism MS, and the space bar magnet MA , which can do this to carry out the next test, the writing carriage can be used one after the other. When the 25 switching step is excited, without actuating the types, forward relay X, a contact Xl is closed, which switches. The contacts 2, 3 and 4 of the first set close a circuit for the magnet ML · , the COL1 are actuated via the four-digit counter QC to which the sequential switchgear TSS in turn, so that type actuation magnets and the space bar magnet moves this to the next switching position. When MA switched on. The contacts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of all the storage relays are locked, so they close 30 sets, with the exception of the first in this bank, one or more of one or more of a storage relay contacts with the type actuation group of contacts AS to ZS, which release magnet and the space bar magnet MA in Promising type actuation magnets for the regi- on.

If the memory relay contacts are reached, the relay AO is actuated in this position and the contact ^ 401 opens. As a result, the circuits to a relay X and the storage relay are interrupted, so that they and their contacts are released and brought into a switching state in order to be able to record a further setting from the multiple switching mechanism MS . The delay effect of relay AO ensures that all storage relays drop out; in other words, it holds the contact ^ oil open long enough that the various relay holding contacts can open. When relay X drops out , contact X 2 is closed in order to prepare the current path for further actuation of the storage relay when the switching mechanism MK 3 returns to the switching position which is assumed when a setting of the multiple switching mechanism MS is terminated. A relay AR is connected to the first narrow contact of the twelfth set in the Ba.nkPSB2 of the position switching mechanism PS , and this responds when the movable arm of the bank TSH of the subsequent switching mechanism hits the twelfth contact. The relay AR is the test termination relay, and when this is energized in this way, it closes the contact AR 5 in order to create the circuit of the magnet MAi, which advances the selector switch mechanism SS by one switching step in order to connect the next cable quad to the subsequent switch mechanism bring. While this is going on, the switch AR 1 interrupts the circuit to the multiple _{switching mechanism MS 3} as a protective measure against the actuation of the storage relay by this switching mechanism MS.

In addition to the contacts already explained in bank PSB2 of the position switching mechanism, a special contact46 is arranged on the far left of the first set COL1 in a position which is six steps away from contact 1 of this set. This contact 46 is only effective if it is occupied by a third contact arm PSW 3 in the initial test position.

The mode of operation that takes place when the typewriter's carriage moves over a The entire line on the registration sheet is moved as follows:

The selector indexing mechanism SS has just been moved into the position in order to bring the corresponding quad into the test circuit state, while the contact arm of the series TSSH of the subsequent switching mechanism has run into the first contact. The four-counter QC is in its zero position and the voltage supply source is connected to the circuit arrangement. The contact arm PSW2 is on contact 1 of the set COLl in the bank PSB 2, a circuit is connected to earth via the contact arm of the series TSSIl, contact 1 of this series, switches KC2 and KDl, contact 1 in the set COLl of the bank PSB 2, contact arm PSW2 and relay AN established, which responds. Contact 2 of the IS pulse switch is also grounded. As a result, switch AN 1 between contact 1 in set COLl and the aforementioned contact 46 is actuated and a circuit is closed via the return movement contact arm PSWZ after a key magnet MC. The key magnet releases a lock, which enables the operator to close the switch KA 1 with one hand. It can be seen that this switch cannot therefore be closed unless the carriage has been returned to its correct starting position. A second switch KL1 is in series with switch KA1 for actuation by the operator, who in this way has to use both hands to put the device into operation. These two switches, together with switch AI 6, close a circuit for relay AZ. This closes the contact AZ 5, whereby the insulation tester 4 test voltage is fed. After the veins have been successfully tested,

ίο responds to the relay BF , and this creates a circuit for relay AI , which closes its own holding contact AI2.

The relay AI causes the following switching states: It opens contact ^ / 6 to switch off the insulation test relay AZ . It closes the contact All in order to connect earth to the long contacts in the bank PSB 2 and to close the circuit for the capacity test via switch AR1. It also closes switch AI5 on contact 51 of pulse switch IS and energizes relay AM, which prepares the registration of the four-wire identification number. Finally, it opens the return circuit to the downstream switching mechanism drive magnets ML and AI 6.

The AM relay is locked in its position by closing the AM 5 contact. The contact ^ 4Ml is also closed, so that an impulse from the impulse switching mechanism IS can be passed to the contact arm PSWl of the position switching workbench PSB1 . At the first contact of the COLL set by the circuit is made to the space keys magnetic MA, and the carriage moves as a result, a switching step in the forward direction. This brings the contact arm PSW 2 of the bank P SB 2 to the adjacent long contact, which maintains the earth connection to this contact arm via contact All . The contact arm PSW 1 is also brought to the second contact in the set COL1 in the bank PSB1 , and the typewriter causes the corresponding digit to be printed, which is determined by the position of the four-digit counter. This automatically causes the position switching mechanism to move via positions 2, 3 and 4 to position 5 in set COLl, where the space bar magnet MA is actuated again, so that the contact arm PSW 1 has now hit contact 1 of the second set C0L2 . At the same time, the contact arm PSW2 of the bank PSB 2 comes to the short contact in the second set COL 2.

The setting and the printing of the four-digit cable identity number is carried out as follows: The four-digit counter QC has three rows of stepping units QCU, QCT and QCH . Each of these rows consists of two groups, one of which determines the digit to be registered by the position of its contact arms and the other actuates the drive magnets for the group. The first group consists of the rows 38, 39 and 40. The rows of the other group are 41 and 42, which are assigned to the row 38 in the stepping mechanism QCU , with 43, which is assigned to the row 39 in the stepping mechanism QCT , and denoted by 44, which is assigned to the row 40 in the stepper QCH .

The sequencer QCU determines the units digit, QCT the tens digit and QCH the hundreds digit.

The "driving magnet" for the QCU ■ stepping mechanism is the magnet MF, for QCT the MagnetME. And for QCH the magnet MD.

Selector, which has twenty-five contacts in the contact, the circuit to the magnet ME in the cycle arc and have up to six rows. To be separated in the switchgear via the contact ^ iC-I. Stepping mechanism QCU are in all six rows. When the magnet ME is de-energized, it causes use, while the remaining units only use the stepping mechanism QCT on contact 1 on four rows. So that it runs as a 5. The circuit can now be used for registering the banks of ten, the ent- Cable quad ID number 10 are prepared. On these opposite ends of the changeover contact arms, which are normally double ended on the third contact of the bank, suppressed, and the PSB 1 (Fig. 3) a circuit above the first Kon contacts are multi-wired, clocked five times in series 39 from QCT to the type magnet over two rows. Therefore, for example, the ω II act produced (FIG. 4). Via the fourth contact of the two contact arms of row 38 in step-by-step switching, a circuit is created to the type magnets MO Werk QCU like a single contact arm, which through the interaction of the contact arm in a row sweeps over fifty contacts, with one contact being made by QCU with the zero contact . A clock arm is in operative connection, while the other, similar switching process takes place for the imprint is disengaged. These stepping mechanisms are all 15 of a characterizing number in the second position of such a design that they respond to the next contact of the position switching mechanism PS.

Contacts 52 and 53 of the impulse switching unit IS 30 While the four-wire identity number interacts in turn, a pulse COL1 is written down, the first capacity is carried out via the second contact in COL1 from PSB1 to the rate investigation. A circuit is routed to the contact arm of the four-counter row 40, to earth via the switch ^ / 1, ARl (Fig. 4), which is on the zero contact, and this is ML 2 (Fig. 5) and AUl (Fig. 2) manufactured in order to actuate the relay AT , which is directly connected to the space bar magnet MA. This closes the contact so that the position switching mechanism PS moves in front AT6 to the capacitor unlocking magnet MK downwards to the next contact. Activate that. While the capacitor is unlocked, the same occurs when the next time a pulse is sent from the relay AC (Fig. 5) by closing the Kon pulse switching mechanism, the idle clock MK1 being excited. The changeover switch AC 6 is key magnet MA with the third contact via the 40 closed in order to lock the relay AC after the contact arm of the bank 39 of the quadrupler connected to the contact MK3 has changed its position. The one that is applied to the zero contact will be. In the contact MK 3 now has the circuit to the fourth position, the type actuation magnet magnet MJ is closed via switch BB 6 in order to operate the differential capacitor 27 via the connection between the one contact arm and the row 38 and contact 1 assigned to it. If 45 neten multiple switch counterclockwise this circuit is made, a relay AK will move. When the contact AT 6 is closed, it is also energized, and this closes the contact AKl, and also actuates a relay SMK , which energizes a magnet MF. Since the write contact SMK 5 flips over to the coil 29 of the polarimaschine the number 1 registered in the fourth digit, Siert relay AB to the balance indicator 28, it moves one step further, so that 50 to turn on.

the circuit via AK is interrupted. Depending on the non-equilibrium state, the contact AK1 opens, the magnet MF is energized from the bridge 2 (FIG. 2), one of the two switches, and the rows in the stepping mechanism QCU states in the polarized relay AB . If the value is shifted by one switching step, the counter moves the capacitor 27 in the direction of the equilibrium for registering the number 2 at the beginning of 55, so the contacts AB2 close to set the next test series. The next and OJ, but without switching effect. After the pulse from the pulse switching mechanism IS is via contact 5 capacitor 27 through the equilibrium position and switches KD 9 and KC 3 has run to the space bar, the output from the equilibrium magnet MA leads via the connection between indicator 28, that the contacts AB 2 and AB 3 closes this magnet and the fifth contacts in all 60, thereby energizing relay BA . Sentences COL2 and COLIl. This relay BA has the following switching effect:

The quad identification numbers above one. Contact BA 5 closes to relay AU

are registered in the following way: After being energized, the AU 6 contact closes in order to

Register the ninth cable quad ID number by actuating the relay BB and the contact

the stepping mechanism QCU performs a switching step 65 BBl closes, whereby both relays AU and BB

to the neutral contact, and two circuits (Fig. 2) are locked. The switch BB 6 (Fig. 5)

are parallel over the contact arm in the row 42 is turned over, whereby when actuated against the

to a relay AG and the drive magnet ME clockwise the magnet MJ is de-excited and im

manufactured for the QCT stepping mechanism. The clockwise direction of the magnet MI responds, so that the

Relay AG (Fig. 6) is a delay relay, which 70 capacitor 27 is now again in the equilibrium

1 U / 4 27ö

Position returned. The switch A Ul (Fig. 2) has opened, but without releasing the relay AT , which is locked via contact AT 1. Contact AU 5 is also closed in the circuit to relay AV . When the capacitor 27 returns to the equilibrium setting, the sensitive relay contacts AB 1 and AB 2 of the relay AB come together, and the relay AV responds. This changes the switching position of the contact AV1 in such a way that a circuit is established parallel to the contact AT% and the circuit to the delay relay AT is interrupted. When the relay AT drops, then the contact AT 6 opens, when the capacitor 27 reaches the equilibrium position, the above-mentioned contact OJ opens. As a result, the relay AV is dropped, so that the contacts Vl returns to its original position, and then AT 6 opens when the relay AT dropped out, the circuit to the unlocking magnet MK is interrupted. The multiple switching mechanism MS is therefore locked for the required setting. At the same time, the contact MK 3 returns to its normal position, thereby interrupting the circuit to the magnets MI and MI , which control the rotation of the differential capacitor 27.

The switching mechanism MKZ , together with the switches ACB ₁ X2 and EVl, forms the control circuits to the contact arms of all banks of the multiple switching mechanism MS. One of two circuits is made to banks MS1 and MS2 , depending on whether the setting is positive or negative. Contact Y6 is in one of these circuits, while contact Z 6 is in the other, and both are controlled by storage relays Y and Z. The selection of the corresponding bank MS1 and MS2 is determined by the position of the contact arm in the sign bank MS 5. If this is on the right contact, then the positive relay Z is energized, thereby opening the circuit to the negative relay Y via the contact Z 3 and closing the circuit to the bank MS2 via Z6. In addition to this sign relay, three further memory relays are actuated when the contact MK 3 is closed, one being connected to one of the banks MS1 and MS2 and one to each of the banks MS 3 and MS 4. These relays close the associated locking or holding contacts and energize the holding relay X in the manner already described. At the same time, the relays A close up of W the associated circuits of the position switching workbench pSBL (Fig. 3, 4 and 7) according to the type actuating magnet MO through M '9, and relay Y or Z (Fig. 5) either closes contact Y 5, or Z5 towards the magnet M— or M + . The relay X has locked the settings of the multiple switching mechanism MS in the storage relays A to W , and this switch can now be released in order to carry out the next test.

When the relay X responds (Fig. 5), the circuits through the storage relay via the multiple switching mechanism MS are all separated as a result of the opening of the contact X 2 . The sequential switching mechanism TSS is advanced by first exciting the magnet ML (Fig. 2) by closing the contact XI ₁ and then opening the contact AI 2 by actuating the delay relay AI, which is in the control circuit has been switched on when contact X 3 is closed. The subsequent switchgear TSS is brought to the next contact in this way, and the first contact in the second set C0L2 of the position switchgear bench PSB 2 is connected to earth. As a result, the pulse control relay AM is excited in the manner already mentioned and the measurement result of the test that has already been carried out is registered in the second column, the registration being carried out in the same way,. as has already been done with regard to registering the

ίο Cable quad identity number has been described. From the first contact a recording circuit is established either to the magnet M + or M -, which magnets have been selected by closing the contact Z 5 or Y 5. From the second contact, the circuit runs either to magnet M2 or Ml, either from V5 or WS, depending on the setting. From the third contact the circuit runs to one of the magnets MO to M9, depending on the setting of one of the contacts K 5 to TS, and from the fourth contact to one of the magnets MO to M 9, depending on the setting of one of contacts ^ 5 to / 5. Finally, the space bar magnet MA is actuated on the fifth contact. It is clear that the memory relays which are locked by the relay X can be released when the tens digit has been registered. This is done by the contact release relay AO in the registration circuit from the fourth contact. When this relay AO responds, it opens the contact AOl, thereby separating the circuits to the relay X and the storage relay. The relay AC has a drop-out delay, which ensures that the storage relays are fully enabled.

During the advancement of the sequential switch gear TSS by the magnet ML (Fig. 2), the contact ML2 (Fig. 5) is opened and closed, whereby the earth connection is temporarily separated from the relay control circuits assigned to the polarized relay AB in the balance display control circuit, so that the holding earth is connected this relay is disconnected in preparation for the next test procedure.

As in the case of the main patent 1 025 161, the provision for a cooperation between the memory relay contacts of the position switching workbench PSBl has been made so that a sign is included in the registration, which says that the recorder is correctly over the range of three places of the registered numerical value has worked if an identification number only appears in the last or only in the last two digits. Here, as in the previous case, this is achieved in that the position of the sign is shifted from the first to a subsequent position. The control circuits, which are controlled by the contacts of the multiple position switching mechanism MS, are set up so that they achieve this desired effect by means of additional relays.

In the case of a two-digit record size, the sign is registered in the second digit instead of the first. The relay U (Fig. 5) is operated by the center contact of the bank of thousands MS4: of the position switching mechanism MS , while the relay K does not respond because the contact arm 30 of the bank of hundreds MS 3 is not on the central contact. The pulse from contact 1 is consequently diverted through contact U 6 to the space bar magnet MA. The impulse from contact 2 is sent to its normal position via contact K2 (Fig. 4) and via contact

U5 to a sign magnet M— or M + via the associated contact F 5 or Z 5. The actuation of the remaining contacts 3, 4 and 5 have already been described. If there is no digit in the second or third digit of the recording, then the contact arm 30 of the hundred bank MSZ is also on the center contact, so that the memory relay K responds and the contact K2 closes. The pulse from contact 2 is therefore passed to the space bar magnet MA (Fig. 4) via contacts K 2 and (76. The pulse from contact 3 is fed to one of the sign magnets via contacts K 5 and U 5. The actuations on the contacts 4 and 5 are not affected.

If the cable quad identity number has been registered before the first capacitance check has come to an end, then the contact arm PSW 2 meets the first contact in C0L2 of the position switch bench PSB 2 before it has been grounded by the continuation of the contact arm in the bank TSSIl of the downstream switchgear . The typewriter therefore waits until the test has been completed. The same happens between the printing of the successive test values. If any test has come to an end before the previous registration process is completed, then the next registration process will only begin as soon as the contact arm PSW2 has hit the first contact in the associated column, since this contact has been grounded by the advancing movement of the subsequent switchgear TSS . In the event that any of the tests has been completed before the previous test result has been fully registered, the multiple switching mechanism MS remains in the locked position until the release of the relay X, the contact X 2 (Fig. 5) closes again to lay the earth connection to the storage relay actuation circuits. In the end position of the subsequent switchgear, the contact arm of the TSSU series is on the twelfth contact, which creates the earth for the registration of the eleventh evaluation in COL 12 of the registration.

After the final test has been fully registered, the contact arm PSWl moves to the fifth contact in COL 12 ^ and a pulse is therefore transmitted to the return relay AQ (Fig. 4), which locks to earth via contact AQ 2 and the carriage working position contact CONl . The switch CONl is a spring switch which is only open when the position switching mechanism PS is in the normal position for the start of a series of test processes. The contact ^ iQl (Fig. 4) closes to thereby actuate the carriage return magnet MB , which returns the typewriter carriage to the zero or initial position. The relay AI is thrown off by opening the contact AQ 6 , whereby the contact All is opened. This sheds the balance indicator circuit relays AU and BB and also de-energizes relay AC , which opens contacts AC 5 and AC 6. At the same time the contact AQ 5 closes and the circuit to the MagnetML, which then responds to bring the subsequent switchgear TSS into the switch position for the first test of the next row. When the subsequent switchgear contact row TSSH lets the associated contact arm run into the twelfth contact, the termination relay AR is actuated. This opens the contact AR 1, whereby the earth is disconnected from the test circuits, and contact AR 5 closes, thereby actuating the magnet MM and moving the selector indexing mechanism 6 * 6 "forward over half a switching step moves the next switch position, then the circuit is opened after the test termination relay AR , whereby contact AR 5 and magnet MM are released so that the selector switch S ¹ J? completes its movement or leads to the end can only be started when the position switch has reached its normal position.

At the end of a series of test examinations of a cable, it is necessary to return the quad QC to its initial position in order to be able to make a new series of records. When the four- counter row QCH is outside its zero position, an indicator relay AD (see Fig. 6) is energized to close a switch AD1 in a hold circuit for the return relay AL . In order to initiate the return switching activity , switch KF1 is briefly closed by hand in order to actuate the return relay AL , which in turn closes a switch AL2 , thereby completing its hold circuit with switch AD1. Actuating the relay AL completes the return circuits for all drive rows 44th, 43 and 41 of the four-counter stepping mechanisms QCH, QCT and QCU and for row 10 of the selector stepping mechanism if any of these rows are out of normal. For the selector indexing mechanism .S ". ^ The return circuit is completed via the graduation magnet MM, the switch MJiI and the switches of row 10 (in FIG. 2), and the switch AL 1 (in FIG. 6) and the switching arm are through the Self-interruption of the control circuits after the magnet MM on the switch MMl so long progressed step by step until the switching arm is on the isolated contact, thereby interrupting the control circuit and stopping the magnet activity. In the case of series 44, the return control circuit runs via the graduation magnet MD, the switches KI2, ALI (in the lower switch position) and MD1 to ground, through each contact, with the exception of a returner contact 0 in this series. the reflux bringing to the zero position of the gradation Magnets MD and its circuit breaker MD1 is so long by an automatic control operation causes until the switching arm arrives at a return contact 0. If the four- counter stepping mechanism QCH and d As selector indexing mechanism 6 ¹ ^ are brought back to their zero position, the two parallel actuation circuits for the display device ^^) on row 10 of the selector indexing device and row 44 of the four-counter indexing device Q CH are interrupted; this opens the switch ADl in the hold circuit for the return relay AL . However, if one of the four-counter stepping mechanism QCT or QCU is out of the zero position in time before the return control process, two parallel operating circuits for a second display relay AE are set up when the return relay AL is operated. One of these control circuits is controlled via switch AL 5 (in the lower switch position) and each contact, except for a return contact 0 in series 43, and the other via each contact, except for a return contact 1 in series 41, and either via switch KFl or via the Switches AL 2 and ADl completed. The switch AE 1 is now closed, in parallel to

Switch ADl in the holding circuit of the return relay AL. A return control circuit is now set up via the switches AL 5, MEl, AL3 (in the upper switching position) and KHl after the graduation magnet ME for the stepping mechanism QCT and via the switch MF 1 after the grading magnet MF for the stepping mechanism QCU. The magnets ME and MF exert a return effect until the switching arms in rows 43 and 41 come into operative connection with isolated return contacts 0 and 1, respectively. Both actuation circuits for the second display relay AE are thus interrupted, so that the switch AEl returns to the normal oven position. By opening both switches AD1 and AE1 , the holding circuit for the return relay AL is opened, which drops out and thereby enables its associated switches to return to the normal position illustrated in FIG. The four-counter control circuits are now returned to their original positions for the purpose of registering the next test series.

If for any reason the multiple position switching mechanism MS moves beyond its maximum range, one or more spring contacts are actuated, which form an excess value switching mechanism. The surplus value switchgear EV 2 closes to operate an excess value relay AA , and this closes the circuit of a signal lamp LY via its contact AA S. The grounding relay AI is thrown off by opening the contact AA 1, and the contact ^ i / 1 opens, thereby bringing the device to a standstill. In order to prevent the stopping of the sequential switch gear TSS when AJ 6 returns to the normal position, AA2 opens in the circuit to the switching magnet ML. The memory relays do not respond because the banks MSZ, MS '4, MSS of the multiple position switchgear are on open contacts, the banks MvS "1 and MvS * 2 are ineffective because none of the contacts Y 6 and Z 6 is closed and the relay X remains The position switch operates on the first contact of any record that it reaches after the measured value of the last test process has been registered.

The operator now switches on additional capacities in the bridge and operates the three mechanically connected switches KK1, KK2 and KK3. The first switch KKl energizes the unlocking magnet MK, thereby enabling manual operation of the multiple position switching mechanism MvS ". The second switch KK 2 interrupts the return circuit to the magnet ML of the subsequent switching mechanism, so that it does not return when the relay AA drops out. The third switch As a precautionary measure, KK 3 opens the control circuit after the magnets MI and MI, which control the drive of the variable capacitance 27.

The desired test procedure is now carried out by hand, and the relay AA is de-energized. The result can then be registered manually. The subsequent switching unit TSS must be advanced by one step by hand, the added capacities must then be expanded again and the switches KK 1, KK2 and KK3 returned to the normal position. The switches KA 1 and KL1 are now closed and the device automatically continues to check and register in the usual way.

In certain cases it may be desirable that some of the test examinations that can be registered in a line should be omitted. It is assumed that test examinations 1 and 2, 10 and 11 are to be omitted. A multiple arrangement of switches or relay contacts KC is actuated and locked. Of these, the switch KC1 grounds the third contact in the series TSS 10 of the downstream switching mechanism , while KC 7 grounds the downstream switching mechanism magnet ML via its own break contact ML1. The subsequent switchgear TSS continues to switch until the contact arm in series TSS 10 is connected to earth via its third contact and the relay AX responds. This opens the contact ^ Xö, whereby the circuit to the magnet ML is interrupted, and the follow-up switchgear TSS stops in the third switching position. The contact KC 2 folds over in order to connect the first contact in the set COL1 of the position switch bench PSB 2 to earth via the third contact of the subsequent switchgear series TSSI1. The switch KC 4 opens to disconnect the long contacts in the bank PSB 2 from the connection to the ground contact AI 1 . The contact KC 6 connects the fifth contact in the set COL10 of the bank PSB1 with the relay AQ. A tabulator magnet MC is connected via contact KC 3 to the fifth contact in set COL1 in bank P ₁ S ¹ Sl, and the test termination relay AR is connected to the first contact in set COL10 in bank PSB2 via contact KC 5 . The cable quad ID number is registered in the first digit as before, but during this time the third measurement is carried out this time instead of the first. When the contact arm PSWl hits the fifth contact in the bank PSBl , the tabulator magnet MC responds to bring the position switch over the next two switch positions, so that the third result is registered while the fourth examination is being carried out. The test completion relay AR responds when the contact arm PSW2 is on the first contact of the set COLlO in Ba.nkPSB2 , and the relay AQ responds from the fifth contact in the set COLlO in bank PSBl , whereby the set of P ruf ends examinations and that Device is returned to the starting position so that a new set of examinations can begin in the fourth position of the TSS sequence switchgear.

Another series of test examinations is brought about by actuating a multiple switch KD . The contact KD1 (Fig. 7) connects the sixth contact of the Fölgeschaltwerk range TSS 11 with the contact 1 in the set COL1 of the bank PSB 2, the contact KD2 grounds the first contact in the set C0L4 of that bank; Contact KD3 disconnects the long contacts in sets C0L2 to.COLö of that bank via All , and KDS connects the first contact in set COL10 of the same bank to the test termination relay AR. In the bank PSBl , the first contact in the set COL 4 is connected to the tabulator magnet MC through contact KD 4, and the fifth contact in the set COL10 is connected to the relay AQ via contact KD 6. The sixth contact in the series TSS10 of the subsequent switchgear is grounded via contact KD 7, and contact KD8 (Fig. 2) grounds the return circuit of the subsequent switchgear, which is now moving into the last switching position. The fifth contact in the set COLl in the bank .PvS ¹ Sl is through the contact KD 9 also with the tab magnet MC in connection (Fig. 2). This will make checking and registering the

909 727/240

sixth through the tenth P call examination is effected in a manner similar to that described above. The only difference is that two movements of the tab devices take place, namely one when the contact arm PSW1 hits the fifth contact in set COL1 and the other when it reaches the first contact in set C0L4.

The test examinations corresponding to a row can be repeated if desired. If the device is in the normal position, the selector switch vS \ S "can be set back by one switching step by hand and the unit group QCU of the four-counter can be moved forward by means of the switch KGl (Fig. 6) until it shows a digit which is by one The device is then put into operation in the usual way. In order to be able to meet different requirements, the tens and hundreds groups QCT and QCH can be moved forward step by step by means of the switches KH1 and KI 2.

The device can be returned to the normal position at any time by actuating a switch KE1 (Fig. 2), which actuates the relay AY , and this is locked via the contacts AYl and AX2. The contact AY2 now connects the first contact in the subsequent switchgear series TSS10 with earth; contact AY5 establishes the control circuit for the downstream switching unit magnet ML ; and the contact AYl disconnects the test completion relay AR , and the contact AY6 completes a control circuit via the carriage work position contacts CONl (which are closed in this state) to actuate the relay AQ. This opens switch AQ 6 to release relay AJ which, by allowing switch AJ 1 to open, stops checking and printing. By actuating the relay AQ , the switch AQ1 is also closed, thereby actuating the carriage return relay MB, through which the carriage and position switch are returned to their normal position. The carriage work position contacts CONl are open in the normal position, whereby the relay AQ is released and its associated switches are returned to the normal position. For example, the switch AQ 6 closes in order to set up a control circuit for actuating the relay AJ , when the switch BFl closes again, and the switch AQl in the control circuit after the carriage return magnet MB opens. The return control circuit for the step switch TSS was established by the switch AJ 6 , which then returned to the normal position when the relay AJ dropped out, and the return control circuit after the graduation magnet ML is thus completed via switch AYS. The step switch vSVT now returns to the position in which the switching arm in series TSSlQ comes into connection with the return contact, in which a control circuit is established via switch or contactAY2 after the relay AX . By actuating the relay AX , the contact AX2 is opened, whereby the relay AY drops out, which in turn interrupts the return control circuit at the switch or contact AY 5 and releases the relay AX by opening the switch AY2. The control circuits have now all returned to their normal position.

The registration of the four-wire identity number can be omitted in that a self- locking button KBl (Fig. 4) is pressed, which actuates a relay AP. This transmits the connections via the contacts API, AP2 and AP 3 to the space key magnet MA from the second, third and fourth contacts in the bank of the position switchgear.
